This scholarship call is VLIR UOS (Flemish Interuniversity Council) supported. As of October 2018, interested candidates are welcomed to apply for admission in 2019-20 until February 2019. This program provides an opportunity for students to undergo training in order to identify road safety and transportation issues which intends to come up with innovative solutions through the use of an integrative approach. The method relies on three pillars:

The individual (concerns with the human behaviour in traffic as well as how to influence it such as unintentional and intentional risky behaviour like cognitive impairments and drunk driving),

The society (concerns with the societal norms as well as translation into enforcement and policy measures)

The environment (concerns with creating infrastructure and self-explaining roads that reduces crash impact)

FYI, road safety in this program is considered as a cross-border field that encompasses elements such as psychology, urban planning, economy, environmental studies, engineering, etc.
